Policy & Safety
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has rejected AI doomsday scenarios, saying in a CBS News interview that 2030 will not mark the end of the world. Huang argued that artificial intelligence can be managed safely, while insisting the industry should continue moving quickly without releasing products before they are ready or safe.
Policy & Safety
A second-year Energy Science and Engineering student at IIT Bombay died by suicide after being found using a mobile phone during an exam. The institute said the question paper had been uploaded to ChatGPT, while students protested and mid-semester examinations were poned.
Policy & Safety
AI companies and researchers are backing some form of slowdown, but no reliable enforcement system exists yet. Proposed measures range from independent model inspections and compute tracking to cryptographic controls on chips and international agreements. Experts warn that weak or rushed rules could fail—or create problems of their own.
AI Tools
South Korea is preparing a taxpayer-funded AI utility that would give citizens free, unlimited access to chatbots and AI agents. The plan is designed to widen access and strengthen national technology capabilities, but it is unfolding alongside job losses, deepfake crimes, concerns over student learning and fears of excessive dependence on AI.
Research & Robotics
Artificial intelligence has opened a new chapter for mathematics, but the transition is already creating tension. The central question is how the field will adapt as AI changes the way mathematical work is done.
AI Business
A CBRE survey of 651 corporate real estate executives across 9 Asia-Pacific markets found that 56 per cent remain neutral on AI’s effect on office demand. While nearly one-fifth expect smaller real estate needs, 25 per cent anticipate expanding their office footprint.
Policy & Safety
California Gov. Gavin Newsom has ordered experts to recommend stronger AI safety rules within 2 months, including possible requirements for verified shutdown systems, independent audits and reporting of loss-of-control incidents. The move positions California’s approach as a potential model for federal oversight.
AI Business
HCLTech has introduced HCLTech Pulse, a dedicated business unit for enterprises with annual revenues of $500 million to $5 billion. It will combine AI, data, cloud, cybersecurity, engineering and business-process transformation services to help these organisations modernise technology foundations and expand AI initiatives safely and responsibly.

India’s software and business services exports are gaining weight in the economy despite concerns that generative AI could automate outsourced work. ING says demand is moving toward analytics, software development, risk management, engineering design and research, while digitally delivered services exports have grown faster than the global market since 2022.
Research & Robotics
PitchFly uses an open-source fruit-fly connectome to remix patterns from popular WIRED headlines into strange story pitches. The experiment does not understand language or meaning, but it highlights how biological brain maps can support playful AI projects, while offering a glimpse into research on intelligence, neural circuitry and specialized models.
